How many hours
are in a day
when you don't spend
half of them watching television?

When is the last time
any of us
REALLY
worked to get what we wanted?

How long has it been since has it been
since any of us really
NEEDED
something that we WANTED?

The world we knew is gone.

The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been
replaced by a world of survival and responsibility.

An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept
the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the living.

in a matter of months society has crumbled,
no government,
no grocery stores,
no mail delivery,
no cable TV.

Forward: For those of you who don't know where that came from; it came off of the back of The Walking Dead graphic novels. I don't have an intimate knowledge of the books, but I have watched the show and played the game by Tell Tale Games. So, I have an indeterminate knowledge of the entire thing. Now, I know that comparing the Books and the Show is pointless, as the creators even stated that they are two very different things even though they have similar events. So, I'm going off the show universe. The word zombie, throw it out of your vocabulary for this roleplay. That word doesn't exist in this world. They are called Walkers, plain and simple, and due to the fact we are in an entirely different part of the country right now, we will not be meeting Rick and his band of survivors. Tragic, I know but, that's a can of worms I don't want to open.

The world ended in a blaze of gun fire and flying blood and guts. The origin of this plague remains a mystery; where did it come from, who was the first, and is there a cure? These were the first questions asked during the initial outbreak. Now, the only questions that surround survivors are; do we have enough to eat, enough to drink, and are we ever truly safe from those things? At first people headed for the cities hoping to find refuge there, when they arrived they found only more of those things. Then they headed towards the country away from the larger populated areas, there they found hunger, bitter cold, and swarms of Walkers. As the days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The survivors were losing hope that the military would come and find them. A few months into this, survivors realized that the Walkers weren't the true enemy. You know where you stand with the dead, but the living tend to be a bit harder to read.

Now, the world is kill or be killed. Average people have turned into murderers in order to protect their loved ones. People with no ties what so ever started calling others in their group family. What they don't realized is, that dead are walking but, they are not the walking dead. We are, and we must prove that mankind has what it takes to survive this. We must protect what is close to us and we must keep our humanity, because if we don't then the dead have already won. In this world where we kill others to survive, one thing is certain; we will not live to see the end of this...

Rules:
1: No godmodding, the only one who can do this is the guy in a lawn chair on top of Everest. Unless I see a picture of you and a picture of you in a lawn chair on top of Everest, then I will allow it. If anyone caught Godmodding, I will send a horde of Walkers that will only attack your characters. Good luck.
2: No Mary Sues, or Gary Stus, they suck and they won't be accepted.
3: First part of password: We are
4: You can have up to 2 active characters at a time. So, if you want more, your going to have to kill off one of your older ones.
5: Swearing... Don't say fuck every other word. It's makes you appear less intelligent than you actually are.
6: Second part of password: The Walking
7: If you want to make the beast with two backs fade to black, and if you want to continue move it to PM.
8: Kids....... I'm not going to allow anybody under the age 15 in the characters. I'm not saying kids are bad, I just don't want to see a Carl or a Clementine killing Walkers and humans. I know that they did, but an 8 and a 9 year old taking a living human life is something I just don't want to see. It isn't natural.
9: No one liners, they suck and they make the roleplay die, I want at least 100 words. It's easy to get that much.
10: Last part of password: Dead. Put the password in the other section to show you read my terribly long rule list.
